rattyreadz asked Laurie Halse Anderson:

Hello, I am french but I read speak and now it is one of my favourite books. I want to publish what I write, because writing means everything to me. Therefore, I want to know what was the process of writing of speak. I mean, I read that you had a nightmare, but then what happened ? Did you start to write everyday, how did you know how to start your book ?

Laurie Halse Anderson I woke up early every morning and wrote before the rest of my family woke up. It took about a year and lots of revision to write the book.

Hi, I read Chains and was wondering were you ever nervous about writing historical fiction and messing something up time wise or whatnot? Also how much research do you have to do to write historical fiction?
